I’m very pleased today to welcome the Cover Reveals for the Ninth Turn in JCM Berne’s The Hybrid Helix series, Mortality Gauntlet! For a lot of us, a new Rohan adventure is an autobuy anyway. But I can’t imagine that people can take just one look at this beut and move on–it needs at least two, which will hopefully spur them on to read about the book. I mean…it is a Chris McGrath cover, so calling it a beaut is a tautology. Anyhow, before we get to that, let’s learn a just a little bit about the book and author, shall we? It’ll just take a moment, and then we can all take a peak at the cover.
About the Book:
The real Hyperion was Rohan’s hero. His idol. His mentor.
Even his friend.
The shadow of that man has been Rohan’s friend, his confidante, then his rival, and ultimately his enemy.
That shadow has caused the death of innocents. Has attempted to destroy the entire human race. Cares for nothing but his own revenge.
He’s stronger than Rohan, tougher. And he’s enhanced his abilities with esoteric chemicals that shouldn’t exist. The one time they fought, he beat Rohan handily.
Savagely.
Rohan thinks he can stop his nemesis. He thinks he has what it takes to win. Enough strength. Enough Power. Enough love.
Is he crazy? Or is he smarter than anybody realizes?
When it all ends, when the dust settles and the blood dries, who will be left to grieve?

About the Author
JCM Berne has reached middle age without outgrowing the notion that superheroes are cool. Code monkey by day, by night he slaves over a hot keyboard to prove that superhero stories can be engaging and funny without being dark or silly.
